Wells Fargo Museum, Sacramento Photos

Wells Fargo & Company is best noted for running the stage coaches of the old American West along with express service for letters & banking services from which today's banking corporation evolved. From the days of the Pony Express & then the transcontinental railroad, Sacramento was a terminus & hub of cross country communications, including Wells Fargo, so it is appropriate that today's Wells Fargo displays its history split over two Sacramento locations: the lobby of the Wells Fargo Center & a heritage building in Old Sacramento.
